Description: I am responding to the June 1, 2015 sighting in Dornoch, Scotland. I have a very similar photo from a very strange year in 2002. Both of these photos that have the large bright object that appears either semi-circular or moving in that trajectory, as well as the blinking light trail. (I have a couple more photos showing blinking light trails in 4 or 5 different colors – see photo 2.) My photo here was taken by a 35 MM film camera attached to a small telescope. Exposure time is between 1 and two seconds. The scanned image is grainy because it has been enlarged. The dark form near the bottom of the photo is an out-of-focus pine tree that’s about 80 yards from the camera. I can’t accurately estimate the distance of the objects which were seen at night, but would guess between 5 and 10 miles.

Note: I don’t think there is a relationship between the “semi-circular” object and dots of light (referred to as “light trail”) by the photographer. There are 9 dots in the light trail. The witness said that the exposure time was 1 to 2 seconds. If that is true, then the dots of light are not blinking aircraft lights. The exposure time would have had to have been at least 8 seconds to show 8 dots of blinking light from an aircraft. (This is assuming that the lights blink about once/second.)

To me the objects/lights look amazingly close to an earlier post of craft seen over Scotland and maybe even the one in NC. On the other end of the spectrum, what are the possibilities of this being the moon? (The large light at least.)
